Searchwebprivate.co

Posted: July 16, 2018

Searchwebprivate.co is a search engine, which redirects the user's search queries through Myfirsttab.com, and then to Gosearchresults.com. These actions are not unsafe, but they might be used to collect data about the user's search queries and browsing habits, therefore allowing the owners of the websites to either use this data to deliver targeted advertisements or sell it to 3rd-party marketing companies that might use it for the same purposes. However, many websites do this nowadays, and this behavior is, certainly, not the reason why Searchwebprivate.co caught the attention of SpywareRemove.com researchers.

It appears that the owners of Searchwebprivate.co might be using browser hijacking software to increase the amount of traffic that their website receives. This software type is not unsafe necessarily, but its presence on your computer is likely to be accompanied by undesired changes to your Web browser's configuration. For example, Searchwebprivate.co might be set as your default Web browser's new tab page or homepage without your approval. This change will not expose you to unsafe content since Searchwebprivate.co is a safe page, but it might have an adverse impact on your Web browsing habits, as well as on your ability to search the Web.

If Searchwebprivate.co has been added to your browser's settings without your approval, then we suggest that you run a trustworthy PC security scanner to check for the presence of browser hijacking software.
